Damn straight!

But really, there's an argument for hunting as an experience. If people on either side of the fence have an opinion, strong or weak, understanding where your food comes from should be vital. Perhaps hunting shouldn't be part of that, but understanding the process should go into it.

My roommate hunts from a tree stand and with a bow. I am pro-meat and I am neutral on hunting. I personally wouldn't do it because I would feel too much guilt/be too squeamish. However I feel that it is a healthy thing to do and venison is one of the most delicious meats ever. It is natural to eat meat, perhaps not natural the way we go about doing it, i.e large corporations controlling the industry. If there was a better way to give the world nutrients then I'd say go for it, then the world could be a better place. But for now I don't see how militant vegetarianism does anything helpful. Awareness is growing at a steady rate, but there are no sustainable veggie solutions at hand
